Theatre.js is an animation library for high-fidelity motion graphics. It is
designed to help you express detailed animation, enabling you to create
intricate movement, and convey nuance.
Theatre can be used both programmatically _and_ visually.
---
You can use Theatre.js to:
- Animate 3D objects made with THREE.js or other 3D libraries
